How Custom Fibreglass Boats are Made

Making a fibreglass boat is taking advantage of both science and art. It all starts with the client's vision, a vision that naval architects minutely detail utilizing blueprints. These plans are detailed enough, often covering everything from the boat's hull shape to its use (racing versus cruising or fishing), that prospective owners can build accurately. This is followed by laying layers of glass fibre matting into a female mould, which are combined with resin to produce an extremely strong and lightweight hull uniform weight and balance. It is applied layer-by-layer with respect both to level and assigned curing timing, rendering a figuratively unassailable hull which speaks volumes of not only tradition but also the craftsman's expertise behind it all. Once complete, the vessels are polished and painted to perfection, with modern electronics installed - serving as what Dickey jokingly referred to "as if it a flying work of art".
